You can be a caregiver and also care for yourself. There’s a look that comes over caregivers that allows us to spot one another – it’s the look of exhaustion. A dullness in our eyes and usually a sallowness in our skin. Being a caregiver is emotionally and physical exhausting. I remember when I first […]

Let’s agree that marriage isn’t easy. It’s a lesson in compromise, trust, patience, and perseverance. I’m not sure if most people really consider their marriage vows – in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer. My marriage to my second husband tested this to its limits. I met Greg on Match.com and we […]

For the majority of my adult life I have been an entrepreneur. I started my first business at the age of 24 – a public relations boutique in Los Angeles focused on commercial production. I built it into a six-figure business with clients on both coasts. By 28 I had sold it to a multi-national […]

Twenty-three years ago, my first-born child, Connor, died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. He was born in April and I’ll always remember how incredibly significant that first Mother’s Day was for me. Little did I know at the time that the next Mother’s Day I would be hiding in my house with a torrent of […]

Yesterday my son Spencer who has Intellectual Disabilities was outside most of the morning helping me shovel. He always volunteers to help without hesitation and I’m incredibly grateful. When I thank him he says, “Mom, being helpful is my super-power.” Spencer’s really into superheroes. We started talking about super-powers but also what our Kryptonite was. […]

Social media has provided all of us a platform to over share. Selfies abound, bad behavior is celebrated, and the world knows the most intimate details of our lives.

How often do you wake up in the morning (or in the middle of the night) with that little voice inside your head screaming at you about your fears, failures and shortcomings? The loop can be endless: “If only you had kept your mouth shut you wouldn’t have lost that friendship.” “Your kids are never […]
